Fires that originate from flammable liquids and gas can be extinguished by a class B fire extinguisher. Class C fire extinguishers are effective against electrical fires from live wires, panels, and circuit breakers. The extinguisher works by releasing materials that stop the conduction of electricity.
Class D fire extinguishers are used on combustible metals. These include magnesium, sodium, aluminum, and titanium. Commonly used in restaurant kitchens, class K fire extinguishers can effectively put out fires caused by cooking fats, greases, and oils. They use a process called saponific a tion by releasing an alkaline agent to create a foam that traps vapors and puts the fire out. Extinguishers stored in the bedroom or bedroom closet will be readily available.
Extinguishers should be placed in areas that are prone to fires, such as the kitchen, furnace area, garage and workshop. Familiarize yourself and your entire family, including children, with how to use a fire extinguisher before an emergency occurs.
Know where the extinguishing agent is released and practice aiming it at a source.

Learn more. What kind of fire extinguisher should I have in the shop? Ask Question. Asked 4 years, 1 month ago. Active 4 years, 1 month ago. Viewed 5k times. Apologies if this is off topic. I realize it's only tangentially-related to woodworking. Edit I wholeheartedly agree with the "get out and stay out" comments: sticking around to try and put out a significant fire to save some tools and equipment is not smart.

Improve this answer. Excellent points. I don't have a dust collection system - just a little OCD with the shop vac. Definitely something I need to look in to. Putting out the fire is certainly the primary concern - well, remaining unharmed is THE primary concern - but there's a range of options from bucket o'water to Halon.
If I have something tiny that's contained in a corner, I wouldn't want, say, a sprinkler system destroying equipment in the opposite corner just because it blankets the whole area. Make sense? If it was getting out of hand, I wouldn't be standing around trying to save my employer's computer hardware. Also, my shop is a detached structure - formerly shed - feet away from the house, not much close to it.
Ironically, it would still be used in the Channel Tunnel! Tim That is ironic. I think I will take the train! DavidLively - unfortunately, the train is the only way through the tunnel The right way to tackle a fire is: Get out. Stay out. Call the big red truck out.

I think some user intervention is reasonable otherwise why fire extinguishers at all? Having had a similar incident heat gun , I do see a role for extinguishers. But your warning is well founded.
I spent 15 years with a fire department. During that time, I watched a dozen cops get hauled off in ambulances because they tried to be heroes with a fire extinguisher. They are indeed useful only for small, easily contained fires that you could probably put out with nothing more than a little common sense.
I don't follow this line of thought at all. If there is a small source of fire, then it should be put out. Say sparks land in his small dust bin, and there is an obvious small smoke trail coming from it.
He absolutely can and should put out that fire instead of running out and letting everything burn down. Nobody is talking about being a hero here. It also is a small shed, and the extinguisher can be hanging from the wall right next to the door. So he can even stand outside, grab the extinguisher and spray in, as a last measure. Doesn't work? Take the remaining few steps away. AnoE Aside: You missed my point 3 - the big red truck will put it out before it all burns down.
The real point is that athough a fire extinguisher is fine for dealing with a few sparks landed in his dust bin, if you have a fire extinguisher, you will be tempted to use it on something much bigger; and that is where the danger lies.
I actually had a fire blanket rather than a fire extinguisher, but it's the same effect; in the cool light of day, my actions were obviously crazy - in the heat of the moment, you will panic.

Isn't another problem with powder that it's highly corrosive? You can throw away any metal tools that came in contact with it. Mast good point. How about installing ground-fault circuit interrupters also called residual current detectors to automatically cut power if one needs to use water to extinguish a fire?
Have something with a decent quantity of water handy for solid fires, and a BC fire extinguisher for liquids. I wonder how carbonated water compares with ordinary water?
